It would be great if you could compare it to the Acer Predator Helios 16/Neo 16 Should one go for higher specs with Acer or better basics and experience with Lenovo Also it would be great if you could share about RAM upgrade as the Helios laptop accepts RAM modules of SK Hynix only

In most laptops you don't need to change thermal paste unless it starts giving you issues like turning off due to heat etc etc. most of the times air blowing a laptop is more than enough.

I know this is for the legion 5 but I just managed to get a legion slim 7 with the Ryzen 9 6900hx and the rx 6800s on sale for 1350. It’s been an amazing experience the first few days.

My only, ONLY, gripe with this thing is the ditching of the aluminium compared to previous years' models. It just adds such a silky, premium look and feel. Granted, the laptop does feel lighter as a result.

Just got the lenovo legion slim 5 with rtx4070, gonna upgrafe the RAM to 32. Its been a BEAST so far
I just got one. Got the i9 + 4070 for 1699 euro on a early bf sale. Waiting on my 64gb ram and extra 2tb m.2
Color accuracy seems different for different regions could you confirm.
benchmarked my legion having a 13th intel 17 with the rtx 4060 but found that they are a few points below the benchmarked score shown in the video. around 1000-2000 points off. Is that bad?
Nothing at all to say except great vid.
I’m sold
What is better the 5 or 7i slim
can you review the Asus g16 with a 4070? I heard there are mixed reviews on it
Do you have any benchmarks for the Asus Zephyrus G16?
Cool, you grew a beard. Anyways, awesome video on the legion again
Is this the 2023 version? The Legion 5 pro I'm seeing online all have a very game-y look with the light up legion logo which I despise.
uh... the flat portions of the side are metal... Only the angled portions are plastic. They changed that from the 2022 version.
hey Ben, please make a head to head comparision between the legion 5i pro(i7 12700h) and legion pro 5i (i7 13700h) these 2 laptops are some of the great laptops for editing and modeling.😃
